Title: Marquis
Post by: Dare to dream! on June 05, 2017, 06:07:32 pm
Didn't Fergie say he was close to signing a new deal not long after the season had finished? Wonder if there is some interest in him holding it up

Talks will continue after his holiday.

I heard there was a clause in his contract stating there was a penalty if he didn't sign before the beginning of June, and that he'd missed it.

I seem to remember someone posting he was on holiday in the middle east. Hope he's not in Quatar - we might never see him again.

Rumours on twitter sphere say he is considering putting in a transfer request!

I sincerely hope not. I know it's silly season, but come on, that's not funny.

It could be an interesting encounter BB.
Geoff Blakesley and Glyn Wigley think that Susan is possibly a bloke.

I very much doubt that's true but if it is he's certainly replaceable just wouldn't be ideal.

As much as I like JM and how well he has done so far for us like any other striker he will ' follow the money'.

Strange, he was really wanting to stray and sign extension to remaining contract, then nothing Except DF wanting a Premier League forward and now as a secondary target, another forward...Me smelly a  ratty
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: Alan Southstand on June 08, 2017, 06:19:52 pm
The thing is, I think he's very much part of our plans moving forward. I would hate to see him leave after such a short stay and personally, I value him staying more than any news on about new players.

It will be a massive setback if he does indeed move on.

Don't ask me why but Iv got a feeling he's considering going.
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: pib on June 08, 2017, 06:48:23 pm
He's still on his jollies.

Maybe he'll sign when he gets back.

Nope. Wanting two strikers has nothing at all to do with Marquis, Fergie has wanted a pacey striker in since last summer (remember the pursuit of Jai Quitongo?) and also needs an improvement on the outgoing Andy Williams. Two new strikers added to Marquis, May and Mandeville would bring us to 5, an acceptable number of forwards for the squad.

Patience folks, it is still only the first week of June.

Can't help thinking that Marquis getting the contract he wants might be the reason Williams was listed and, if Williams doesn't move that the contract wont be there for him to sign.

I see he hasn't signed yet so can i take it we've lost the pen again or has he had the longest holiday ever
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: DonnyOsmond on June 22, 2017, 05:20:13 pm
I reckon it's looking like we're trying to sign players before he's offered anything to see how much we have available in the budget to offer him.

Bad news folks! Looks like Marquis has gone..     
..for a Gareth Bale style man bun!

Preseason testing vid at Leeds University on the website/YouTube now.

Those buns on the head attract bad comments from supporters.
Not a good idea.
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: idler on June 23, 2017, 01:50:47 pm
They attract even worse comments if the player is having a bad game as we know.

Marquis is obviously looking at his options and that includes who's coming in.   I can't blame him. After the season he's just had I'd consider capitalising on it while he can.  If he doesn't perform that well this season he will have missed the boat
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: drfchound on June 23, 2017, 03:33:58 pm
If JM stays with us it will be the icing on the bun, sorry, icing on the cake.

But another club has to make an offer before he has options.

I have never read so much bed wetting rubbish in a long time, JM said he wanted to sign a new contract, DF has said that JM will sign a new contract, so what has changed? As far as I know, nothing..  Chill out.

I'm more worried about him having a girlie hair style
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: WheatleyRover on June 26, 2017, 03:38:16 am
Who cares what his hair looks like! Unless your into men! And just so you know, hair is meant to be long thats why it grows, short hair is the mark of a slave
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: drfchound on June 26, 2017, 07:46:00 am
I suspect there was much tongue in cheek over the hair comments.
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: RoversAlias on June 26, 2017, 10:20:42 am
On this note, can someone go down to Cantley Park and see if Alfie May has cut his hair? He threatened it the other week on Twitter.

I could go, I live right next to it, but I've got an injured foot and don't want to face the potential reality  :whistle:
Title: Re: Marquis
Post by: selby on June 26, 2017, 03:20:23 pm
Who cares what he looks like? we should all do.After all he does play in front of the best looking crowd in the world,in the best town, and county too.
  Standards, lets hope the players do not let us good looking guys and dolls down.
  As long as Marquis and Alfie dont have different coloured roots and get their head on a few crosses like Alfies bullet header at Grimsby I dont care.
